Backyard Baseball '97 will be released on Steam on October 10, marking its first appearance on digital gaming platforms. The game is part of the Backyard Sports series, which is known for its accessible, arcade-style sports games. Pablo Sanchez is a notable character from the series, recognized for his versatility in various sports. The original Backyard Baseball was developed by Humongous Entertainment in 1997. The re-release by Mega Cat Studios faces challenges due to the lack of access to the original game's source code, which may limit enhancements like gamepad compatibility and support for Steam Deck or macOS. Gamers can add the game to their wishlists on Steam ahead of its release.
